It's one of my dad's Bob Holy Grails! He saw it on at the time, it's never been rebroadcast and it's never come out to buy, on any format. This is THE place for Dylanologists, so one of you must have it, or know someone who does. I want to get it for him as a special birthday gift. He'd be blown away. Someone must have it! PM me any time if you have a lead. It'll take a bit of Sherlock Holmes-ing but I have faith!

Benny was in Cambridge? Is he a regular at those events? Please pass on my best to him.

As to the OP. I tracked it down some years back. Alas I recently binned all my carefully filed VHS tapes or I could have put my hands on it right now.

Presuming I wasn't so stupid as to forget to xfer it onto DVD, it will be somewhere in boxes of unsorted disks.

I won't have time to look for a couple of weeks but if you still don't have it by then, drop me a pm and I'll hunt it out.

I'd warn your dad though that, intriguing though it still is, it's very dated and I have to confess that I was a bit disappointed when I re-watched it. My memories were of something far better. I loved - still love - when the girlfriend says "I wonder if they were shoestring that were red, white and blue or if they were red shoestrings, blue shoestrings and white ones?..." And then says "I don't suppose it matters and drops off to sleep, leaving our "hero" traumatised and awake all night.....

God, I hope someone does upload this, as I have been trying to get a copy of this, for years. It's funny how your memory plays tricks on you though. I have always thought this was made in 1978 before Bob's first visit, to London of the 1970's.

Well that is when it is set, I think. The interviews the Bob fan has to do with the sub-sub-Clash punks set it about a year and a half after the Pistols first "broke" - not 5 years later.

If anyone knows, then JTT, Jack, will know. He's been the source for a lot of things which aired on British TV. R&C etc. I guess it depends if he had his VCR in 1981. Were they even available then?

I used to trade vcr tapes, years ago, but I don't remember seeing this. It may be around though as I most certainly wasn't a collector of everything.

DVDylan.com may be a good place to ask. There are many there who have everything that circulates.

Happy hunting.

Great tip, just did a similar post on DVDylan. JTT hasn't replied to this thread as yet, perhaps I can send him a PM. I really appreciate the help. It'd be one of my finest moments if I got this for my dad

So far, I've not had much luck so I may well be back at you in a couple of weeks. You must have transferred it; I bet your collection is amazing. My dad's more of a book guy really, he has 50+ Bob books. He does have a fair few boots on DVD and CD, mind. All sorts of stuff, he used to go the Manchester Dylan meetings and record fairs as well. I wish so much I could get him to come online and meet amazing people but alas, he just won't have it.

As for how good it is, I can't say I'm surprised that it hasn't aged well!

Well I know people to whom my collection is derisory so it's all a matter of perspective. (not that any of us have real perspective!)

I may know your dad from the Manchester events. I have a couple of hours gap on Sunday, I'll look for it then if you still need it but it looks like the helpful folk here will have sorted you out by then.

Good grief dan downloading it was easy enough but what sort of formats are .BUP, .VOB, .IFO, etc.?? hashtag this'll never woik

Cor blimey! Them's proper dvd formats. The sort you'll find on a proper (read commercial) dvd! You should be able to play the thing in something like Windows Media Player, or burn it to a dvd and play it on yer dvd machine - through yer telly! (Disclaimer: I know nowt about this really, but do recognise those extensions).

They are all in the same folder, you should be able to use any media player (I use VLC) and drag the folder onto it and play. Also, you can burn it to DVD (I use Nero) by dragging the folder and burning. Those are normal DVD files, if you download an .avi file or .mp4 file, chances are it was extracted from the type of files I uploaded.
